You know that effect in memes and comedies mostly when it's a shot of somebody thinking hard as all these math problems and equations are flying through the air to give the impression that the person is thinking extremely hard? It would be hilarious to have a scene in which that happens and after a 30-second montage of that the guy is like... "Um...it didn't wobble" Lol.

Never stop teaching us.....the world needs you and your type now more than ever.

David, I've just "discovered" your channel, and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to do this. From the few vids I've watch so far, you've done a spectacular job, and I'm looking forward to watching them all. I have also "recently become "retired" due to medical illness, after 20+ years as a practicing chemical engineer in the polymer/chemical/petrochemical industry (with OxyChem), and like you, have also always had a fascination and desire to know more about space & and our amazing universe. Thank you SO MUCH for using your time and intellect to produce such a high quality and interesting series to your "new friends" and allowing us to share it with our "friends & family" to spread the knowledge and passion for this amazing universe and our ever expanding knowledge of it. Many Blessings to you, my friend! & please keep it up for as long as you can and are inspired to do so. Your work is appreciated!

Rob, I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one! I'm a 41 year old IT professional who happens to love science and astronomy and while there is some very entertaining content on the topic on KZread, it's rare to find content that isn't in a constant race to zip through content as if even a moment's silence is anathema. I LOVE the pacing David Butler has on his series, he gives it time to breathe, respects our intelligence, doesn't use crazy CGI or clickbait, he just presents the current science and explains HOW this body of knowledge came to be known and presents it as clearly as I've ever heard. The choice of classical music for the background, even going to the effort of creating chapter markers with musical details - it all comes together to make this entire 'How Far Away Is It' video book playlist one of the finest things I've seen on the internet, full stop. This is David Butler's "Wikipedia", in that he's literally added to the substance of the Universe with this work.

I’ve been binging these videos that past few days and this channel ties everything I’ve been learning over the years together. You have given CONTEXT to many scientific terms, and don’t just list them off. Thank you for the simple and succinct lessons

It is so incredible how you are able to speak the language of the novice astronomer wannabe to make us understand what is going on. You're my modern day Einstein when it comes to understanding what's out there regardless of whether humans are were or will be alive and I thank you for that with that said bazinga

Good taste, my man. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I also like the CrashCourse Astronomy series hosted by Phil Plait for a few years ago. Yes, it's fast paced (It's a crash course) but the clarity of explanations and Phil Plait's infectious passion and excitement for science outreach means that the series is another great resource. If you have CuriosityStream (or come across these shows elsewhere), the best space documentaries by my standards include "Destination: Moon" (In 5 small parts, if I recall correctly) is very inspirational about where humans should go next in terms of exploration, followed by "The Planets" by the BBC, both the original version from around 1999 and the more recent one hosted by Brian Cox. Honourable mention goes to 'Alien Planet', a 2005 Discovery Channel 'docu-movie', a feature-length documentary based in part on a speculative fiction novel by Wayne Barlowe, this doco depicts a future robotic mission to a planet called "Darwin IV" as three separate probes descend from a mothership to explore. The creatures and the lifecycles depicted are rare in fiction in that they are really, truly alien and represent quite a good example of shedding as much preconceptions about alien life as possible.

Use of this classical music and kind of narration with that soothing voice make this a unique astronomy channel.

best documentary about the Milky Way I have ever seen. Outstanding!!!

David, thank you for this series! It brings me back to my childhood when my best friend and I would sit in front of his computer with "StarryNight Backyard" open to a live virtual view of the night sky from our location. We'd search for satellites crossing our area and try to find them in the sky, it's also the first time I saw Andromeda, and was blown away you could see it with the naked eye(the location we were at had very little light pollution). We'd click on random asteroids and stars and check out the distances, which, depending how far away they were, would be in either AU, or light years. This series is like having a narration of all those nights from my childhood if that makes sense(can't think of a better way to phrase it).

This is one of my favorite sci-fi stories of the milky way :) keep uploading them. Really helps me relax.

These have helped begin to construct a better spacial understanding at various cosmological scales that previously had been abstract points / pictures. Thanks again for the awesome work!

23:25 - Mind-blowing. When David tells us that the central 'bar' of the Milky Way has a density of some 10 million stars within a single lightyear, my mind just melted. I feel like I want to launch the program 'Universe Sandbox' on my home PC just to try and get a casual game-like simulation of what that volume of stars would mean for orbital stability! It would seem utterly chaotic, bodies would be perturbing each other all the time, surely? I realise even a single light-year is a vast distance with respect to the comparatively pin-prick size of even the biggest stars, but still ... that's just amazing density.

This was amazing. Your explainations are perfect.
